For smaller living rooms you have two options.
Rug placement under coffee table.
The bed is on the shorter wall because of doors and windows in the room.
This creates a design feature and defines the play space of the table and chairs.
Based on the shape of the room we would place the rug to go with the shape of the room 9x 12 rug but this only gives 13 of rug on either side of the bed.
We are placing a rug in our master suite and the room is rectangular in shape 13 2 x 17 7 with a king size bed.
I have this low pile rug in the craft portion of my home office and it works perfectly.
With the rug about 12 from a door they ve wisely chosen a low pile rug texture you can find a similar rug at target for under 200 where a hand tufted thick rug would look out of place.
For an added design highlight place your layered rug under a piece of furniture you want to feature.
In this youthful bedroom the layered round accent rug coordinates with the furniture and wall decor but it s a stark contrast to the brown carpet.
For instance a 40 by 60 inch table should be paired with at least an 8 by 10 foot rug but would work best with a 9 by 12 foot rug.
You can go with a smaller rug like a 5 by 8 that can float in the room in between the furniture but under the coffee table says loloi a rug.
The will make the room appear smaller so it works best in large living room or open floor plans.
The desk could double as a writing space or reading area.
If you want to be confident that you re choosing the right area rug size for your dining room table simply add at least 60 inches to the length and the width of your table to get your ideal rug size.
Only a coffee table on the rug perfect for small or narrow spaces this layout plays off the room s scale to make it feel larger.
When to place the rug this way.
To get the proportions right base the rug size on the interior dimensions of your seating area and not just the coffee table so it fills the negative space created by your furniture grouping.
In a living room for instance all of the furniture should be on top of the rug if this isn t possible it s okay to have the front legs of major upholstered pieces on the rug and the back legs off.
Under the coffee table or in front of a sofa or daybed place a small tribal rug right over the oriental.
Like with the living room feel free to use the furniture sizing guide to make sure you have selected the right size rug for the bedroom.
The rug is placed under 3 4 of the bed but could be pulled out further to cover the bottom 2 3 of the bed for placement of a decorative bench at the end of the bed.
Do extend rugs under furniture.
When selecting an area rug make sure that it extends under all the key pieces of furniture in the room.
